I have seen a report by Wolves Insider that the club gone back on the deal with Traore due to them feeling we have enough depth in the squad. Don’t know if this is reliable or not? If he does sign in the end please let me know.
Prediction for the game 4-1 our way.
1.) 06 Sep 2026 11:54:46
FcWolves, all reports I've read say he's already signed a 1 year deal with option of a 2nd if promoted.
2.) 06 Sep 2026 13:10:18
Nothing on the official club site. Hope there is nothing in the rumour that we are having second thoughts. I think he looks a really good addition.
3.) 06 Sep 2026 14:15:17
I would believe a word that Football Insider print. They're full of more s*** than a public toilet.
4.) 06 Sep 2026 14:16:12
Wolves Insider are clickbait, mate. Deal is done with optional year if we get promoted.
5.) 06 Sep 2026 16:22:23
Guess he'll only be staying for any year then, Rated. We're a long way off promotion. Our defence is a shambles.
6.) 06 Sep 2026 23:13:43
Hate to say it but I said we lacked pace at cb and in the forwards all preseason.
Solutions. There's a couple:
1. The defence has to play more narrow, and the wide forwards, Mane/Armstrong and R Gomes, must track back. There's too much of a gap between the midfield and defence. Andre needs to switch on. The wide forwards not tracking back is the reason Patrick Roberts was able to play his pass to Stansfield.
2. Not yet, but if we have no success we revert to a back 3. Start keeping clean sheets and play JJ next to Andre from the start. The main reason he doesn't do this is that Cesar likes to have engine players that he can bring on to press and win the ball higher up the pitch in the second half. It's still early days, but is Munetsi doing enough in 65-70 mins right now?
3.
Standards need to be set for Mane, R Gomes and Armstrong, with rewards for hitting so many goals and assists before November. Nuno was great at setting the squad short-term targets, which meant they were more focused. If they don't move, Raul is invisible. It's vitally important they move and link up with Lopez. Just hugging the sideline isn't good enough this season; they must be proactive.
I'm going to leave Jackson alone about the freak OG, but encouragement-wise, it's about consistent quality, not just getting to the byline. The crosses must be better than they were today.
Positives: R Gomes, Armstrong and Raul. Raul's free kick would have gone in on another day.
We should have had a penalty as well...
7.) 07 Sep 2026 08:25:02
If Armstrong is a positive 2gen, then we are in a very poor position. He was a complete waste of £7 million pound.
8.) 07 Sep 2026 09:35:31
Sorry, B Hill, my comment was those players had chances that we should have taken. It could have been another 4 goals for Wolves.
9.) 07 Sep 2026 10:03:05
Fosun - your lack of tactical football knowledge is startling yet you still keep telling us what is needed.
You say that these players must now do this and other players must do that. The coach will have been working on his style of play and his in game strategy but you want him to rip that up and change ya tics and even formation because Blues scored from a handball and an own goal!
Have a day off mate because you do make yourself look silly.
This is a new coach and who has been working with the players for a short time, robbed of two of his starting defenders to injury and only just able to reintegrate a couple after the transfer deadline.
He is not going to change his playing style which has got him where he is now because of an away draw against a local rival.
In all honesty I was quite pleased with the second half defensively as they really didn't look like scoring other than a header that looped onto the bar.
Let's let the players settle in and adjust to being in the championship (with no VAR to give decisions) and get out injured players back and we should be fine.
But please stop preaching your tactical nonsense as it's embarrassing.
10.) 07 Sep 2026 17:12:41
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Have some manners, Tommo.
11.) 07 Sep 2026 17:32:21
Damn straight, Sucka. You can't be talkin' like no jive turkey.
12.) 07 Sep 2026 18:07:00
Tommo, I'd agree, but he has had three months with these players.
If the tactics and style isn't ingrained now, you have to ask questions on the personnel.
As predicted, the cbs that we've watched for 3 or more years now lack pace and don't suit a back 4.
Tchatchoua has had a season in English football now, so the questions get louder and louder.
Every one of those cbs is a squad player in bottom half Premiership teams. They don't have the pace or technical skill to play as a back 4.
Arguably, Djiga, our 5th choice cb, is our best cb so far this season.
So, yeah, I am annoyed that Alleyne and Philips were available.
But, the reason they play out from the back is because there's no pace in the final third.
Under the cosh on Sunday, we should have had an outlet with pace (hopefully Traore and Said bring this later on).
It's called counter-attack; every team should be able to counter-attack, as it's bloody useful to punish the opposition.
And, we can rearrange the dinner table as many times as we like, but these two weaknesses are glaringly obvious to fans who have watched the club the past three seasons, in particular since Neto, Ran, Cunha, Sarabia and Semedo have left.
I say Neto, as that season we had two threats with pace that was changed to one when he never even wanted to go to Chelsea.
Beggars belief.
13.) 07 Sep 2026 21:09:00
Now I agree with all of that, Fosun, and you have a point about how long he has been there. However, some players came back late, some have been injured, and some only arrived recently.
I just think that 7th September is too early to rip up your plan and start again, when we've only lost once and scored lots of goals.
Personally, I think Krecji and Djigga played well, but were let down by both full backs, Munetsi, who charges about instead of holding the shape, and a goalie who has been a liability for 3 seasons.
Don't know much about Konan, but I'd give him a go and get Tripps back, and I think we are ok.
Having said all that, we conceded from a handball and a comical own goal. At West Ham, we conceded to a 'worldie', a big deflection, and a pen.
Give the team and coach time to settle and the style to bed in before we start wanting radical change - we have done that for 4 seasons now and look where it has got us!
11 Jul 2026 10:34:52
Rafiki Said has been confirmed by the club. Thoughts? Does anyone have any more information about him?
1.) 11 Jul 2026 11:00:03
At least 8 goals in all of his last 4 seasons. Feels like what we were missing last year - since Cunha left, we haven't had a proper goal threat.
2.) 11 Jul 2026 12:47:32
Let's give the player a chance. Even the great Steve Bull wasn't reckoned that much when we signed him from the Baggies.
3.) 11 Jul 2026 13:21:38
As I said in a previous post, that is all we can do.
If he turns out to be half as good as Mr Bull, we will all be delighted.
However, it is far from certain you can compare the 2 transfers, as Bull was only 21 and was bought for a bag of beans, whereas this player is 26 and was acquired for a fairly sizeable fee.
4.) 11 Jul 2026 17:11:29
Of course, we can't compare the Said transfer to Steve Bull's, but my point really is that you can't judge a book by its cover. We obviously see something in him.
5.) 11 Jul 2026 23:24:52
Well, that is axiomatically correct.
Sadly, though, that is also the case for every player ever acquired.
Some of whom will have been brilliant - the aforementioned Mr Bull, some will have been ordinary, and some of whom (and, tragically lately, that some could be replaced with most) will have been abysmal.
His record is modest, but as I have never seen him play, it would be wrong of me to dismiss him.
Consequently, whilst I am not optimistic, I have not said he is a bad signing - yet - but have said that there must be safer ones, i.e.
players who have a better or more relevant track record.
All signings are a gamble, but this one, especially for the price, looks a substantial one.
However, as the new manager is just that new, perhaps he is entitled to a punt; after all, he can't be blamed or held responsible for the shambolic transfer dealings of previous regimes.
16 Feb 2026 19:37:53
I have been thinking. When we get relegated down to Championship, Liverpool and Man United will come swooping for Mane. I think he will be very good in the championship so in the deal how about a loan back clause of any kind?
Thoughts?
1.) 16 Feb 2026 21:23:13
I really agree Fc, that would be a great move for all parties involved.
2.) 17 Feb 2026 09:47:47
I hope he decides to stay. He's still a young man and will have plenty of time to get the big money move.
The vultures will circle around our players though.
Sa, Santi, Jackson, Wolfe, Andre, Bellegarde and Joao will all go for about £100m. Doyle, Traore and Munetsi, Rodrigo and Lopez should prove to be a good combination to chose from in the Championship.
We won't need many players to make us the favourites next season but we do need quality.
I would suggest Harwood Bellis and Bazunu as defender and GK
3.) 17 Feb 2026 10:00:16
My thoughts Fc are that Mane, if he is sold for £50mil, must not be loaned into the Championship. If he's worth £50 mil he will be hacked to death to cut him down to size by the usual suspects.
Jota had a tough time in the champ with us. I would prefer to loan Mane to Coventry if they are promoted, and then cash in when his value might get even higher.
4.) 17 Feb 2026 14:11:45
I think we can count out Lopez being in the champ with us, he’s given an interview stating he’s got no intention of playing in the championship next season, I would be amazed if munetsi comes back as well. We can only hope blues don’t go up otherwise that’s Doyle gone as well as they have a clause saying they sign him if they get promoted
09 Jan 2026 05:53:50
Any word on any signings yet?
1.) 09 Jan 2026 08:46:42
One word, NONE
07 Nov 2025 10:42:03
Seems we have had an approach for the Real Vallacano Boss. Been rejected and he wants to stay in Spain for now

CP just needs to stick with the same bloody lineup instead of completely changing it every game and throwing the players off. I get that injuries are an issue but come on.
Please get rid of SA and get new chap in goal he looked so much better vs Everton than SA ever has at wolves. Mane is losing the fans because he thinks he is prime Messi. Rodrigo needs to come back in as soon as he is fit again because said doesn't know how to play football. Djiga and krejci should stick as starting CB as they look quite good.
Tripps needs to do a lot more otherwise CP will start Jackson more. Chirewa really is trying now and good on him for that. Armstrong is not a good striker as he does nothing all game. Munetsi runs around the pitch for 70 mins and then gets subbed for Doyle who puts a crap 20 min shift in and then looks terribly sad at the end.
Don't even get me started on Toti. Hugo needs to step up, maybe give him the armband as Toti or SA don't want it nor do they deserve it. Andre can't start every move from DM and needs some help which Fer is doing well but Munetsi isnt. Konan looks quite good which is unexpected.
Why did we have 2 GK on the bench last game. Ruddy wasn't even wearing a kit so why waste the space. Get Edozie on the bench for Ruddy or Doyle.
Sorry for the rant but really needed it at the moment.
1-0 wolves Fer Lopez scores 57th minute.
1.) 24 Oct 2026 07:52:20
Don't think we will ever be as good as the old nuno days and the squad we had good times gone but not forgotten but today let's remember Kenny jacket and what he done.
2.) 24 Oct 2026 08:32:05
Isn't sad, I wake up match day, think about the game and I'm not excited.
I don't know what it'll be, but since the baggies it's been boring, frustrating let downs and I dunno if I want to endure it again.
Sure I'll be there when it KOs.
Yes I'll be hoping for what now will have to be miracles.
I just can't get enthused about us, get me hopes up and for sure I feel ill be let down.
So from 3 till 5 it'll be an endurance test.

Try watching the women's team Abby they might lift your spirits a bit.
4.) 24 Oct 2026 10:41:04
Yeah longmynd, I've seen the comments, and I must try and do that. Maybe today's just a miserable one weatherwise? It amplifies my feelings about the men.
5.) 24 Oct 2026 11:50:54
There have been many trying times for us Wolves fans. think what makes this feel worse however is that before we were poor and trying to get by on pennies, now we have one of the wealthiest owners in the country and we have seen what can be achieved when they sticks their hands in their pockets.
If we hadn't seen such riches we could live with being poor!
FOSUN OUT.
6.) 24 Oct 2026 12:34:51
Good post Fc spot on.
20 Oct 2026 22:05:21
I think that CP has lost the dressing room.
1.) 21 Oct 2026 10:07:26
He has certainly lost his coaching manual.
16 Oct 2026 20:25:10
I know this might be a bit drastic but if we lose tonight get him gone. Just so there is a chance to save us before the slump truely sets in.
1.) 16 Oct 2026 20:38:37
I'm in agreement, the Manager looks more confused than the players! Time to go.
2.) 16 Oct 2026 20:38:56
Totally agree CP is so out of his depth jackson, belegarde, Sa, are just not good enough and CP tactics are just gona get us relegated it's just so nagative play.
I honestly thing if we had 60% of the play 55% would be our defenders constantly passing it back.
3.) 16 Oct 2026 20:53:25
Tend to agree regarding CP. Lucky to be going in at halftime drawing. Very poor first half.
4.) 16 Oct 2026 20:55:25
If totti and munetsi come out for the second half he should be sacked. Totti was at fault for the goal, should have followed the run of carry and munetsi is just crap. How the two of them get picked in front of kregci and James is beyond me. Totti should have stuck to rugby.
05 Oct 2026 08:58:35
Fer lopez withdraws from Spain under 21s due to "physical discomfort”. No idea how long he could be out for if any time. Not great news
COYW.
16 Sep 2026 23:29:26
Not too fussed about the loss because we played quite well. Virginia looks like a safe pair of hands. Good for him to prove he was worth signing.
On to West Brom now. Would have liked to have Raul playing against them but Neave looks good.
11 Aug 2026 12:30:04
Some good options in there. Could you list a source for this? I just want to check out if they have posted any other rumours. I don't want Santi to go nor krejci
31 Jan 2026 08:04:47
I think so too rated
Any news on signings?
23 Dec 2025 04:53:24
Made me smile Arddunby ?
19 Sep 2025 09:43:41
Yes I am suggsting that. The only problem with it is his wages Wandering.
30 Oct 2026 22:10:21
Great news!!
16 Oct 2026 20:23:57
Well 20th min and you are already correct man o war.
11 Oct 2026 06:25:48
I'm actually not happy with Armstrong either at the moment every time he is on the ball he either gives it away or tries some magic that he can't do. I think play him with neave for now as support.
06 Sep 2026 12:59:59
Well, I would say it was an interesting strike by Jackson. Is Nasser injured?
